TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING CHART

RADIO
Unable to tune stations. You are in a weak signal area.

•  Increase the Seek Sensitivity (see Seek Sensitivity section for details).

IPOD

iPod does not play, or there is no sound. The iPod has not been recognized.

• Verify that the iPod is supported.
• If the iPod is supported, reset the iPod and reconnect again (see iPod section for details).
  iPod not functioning
• Out of the operation range, the operating temperature of the iPod player is -20° to 85°C (-4°F to 185).
• Allow the vehicle´s interior temperature to be in a supportable range.
• The Apple interface cable may be damaged or a non-authentic Apple product; therefore unsupported.

BLUETOOTH

My radio doesn’t recognize my Bluetooth-enabled device.

Try one of the following actions:

1. Remove the device, then reconnect and pair the device. Refer to the ” DELETE ONE OR DELETE ALL DEVICES and to Pairing a Bluetooth Device and Connecting a Bluetooth Device sections.
2. Make sure the device is turned on.
3. Make sure Bluetooth on your radio is enabled, refer to the Bluetooth Enabling/Disabling section.
4. The device might be out of range. Try moving it closer.

The BT device and radio can’t communicate.

Try one of the following actions:

1. Make sure that you selected the correct BT device to be connected. For example, you might have two or more devices previously paired or connected, so make sure you select the right device.
2.  Some devices require a passkey before they can be connected to the radio.
3. Possibly an incorrect passkey was typed, or the time limit expired for typing the passkey. Refer to Connecting a Device section.
4. If the BT device is close to other devices that use radio frequencies (such as microwave ovens, cordless phones, remote controls for electronics or lighting, or 802.11 wireless networks), those devices might be creating interference. Try moving the BT device that isn’t working farther away from the other devices using radio frequencies.

Bluetooth device music cannot be heard.

1. Verify the BT device is paired and connected. Refer to sections: Pairing a Bluetooth Device and Connecting a BT Device.
2. Make sure BT AUDIO SRC is selected in the source list menu. Refer to the SRC (Source Power) button section.
3. Adjust the Volume on the radio by rotating the Volume Knob.
4. Verify that your BT device is not paused.
5. Make sure your BT device has music files.
6. In the event you have connected a phone to the aux, the device controls the audio behavior, so this may require disconnection of the AUX from the device to recover audio.
